For season 2006/07, the first at Emirates Stadium, a welcome return to the famous red and white was made – although the redcurrant remains to some extent in subsequent strips.

In 2007/08 the Club launched a white-shirted away kit with redcurrant shorts, designed to pay tribute to the influence of Herbert Chapman on the Club, alongside a redcurrant and navy third kit which was believed to be Arsenal’s first-ever striped effort. The Chapman-inspired kit sparked reminders that he first introduced white sleeves to the Gunners’ shirts, and also pioneered the design of hooped socks – which he believed would help players recognise one another more easily.
